2,741 Pointscan someone please help with a multiline string literal in Swift??
I am reading through notes attached to the video tutorials and practicing the notes on Xcode playground. I have copied the following onto Xcode:
let singleLineString = "These are the same." let multilineString = """ These are the same. """ and there is an error in the code?
it does not make sense to me as I am literally copying what Swifts guidance says...
does anyone know whats happening?
thanks

2,741 PointsHi there, I am doing the beginners ios course and reading/following the documents attached which are Swift 4. I didnt realise this until some code I was inputting onto Xcode 8 was coming up as errors (forgive me i am completely new to this).
Are there any tutorials on Swift 4 on Treehouse? I am getting a little confused with everything at the moment...
I have Xcode 8, learning Swift 3 on treehouse but following and practice Apples Swift 4 guidance.....is this wrong? Should I be using xcode 9 and continue practicing as per Apples guidance Swift 4?
Also would Treehouse Swift 3 video tutorials still be appropriate? (sorry its obvious but I am new to this and have no idea)
thanks
